Skoda Octavia Estate Specs & Dimensions

SE Technology models don’t make a lot of sense. They get exactly the same kit as SE cars, except their eight-inch touchscreen has built in sat-nav. When the basic system already has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – which allows you to mirror the sat-nav on your smartphone – it seems a bit pointless. Kit carried over from SE models includes remote central locking, LED headlights, cruise control, climate control and rear parking sensors.

SE L models give a more premium feel to the Octavia’s interior without the tacky touches you get in more expensive Laurin & Klement trim. The premium feel comes in the form a part-leather/part-alcantara interior and you also get automatic emergency brakes, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and 17-inch alloy wheels. SE L models get the Amundsen infotainment system fitted to the SE Technology model, which has built in sat-nav.

As the name suggests, Sportline models get sporty design upgrades, including sports seats with a fabric and leather upholstery combination, sports suspension that's a bit lower than the standard car, and a drive mode selector that can let you choose between a more responsive engine or better fuel efficiency.

First Edition models come fully loaded with equipment, with some of the highlights being a rear-view camera, a tablet holder for the front seats to help keep the kids entertained on a long journey, and sunblinds for the rear windows. You also get full LED Matrix headlights, which can divert the beam around oncoming traffic so you don't have to turn off your full beams.
